Greetings to everybody! Is there any way to turn off roaming profiles and use only local ones? In our company each of us connects to domain from its own workstation, so as I can see there's no need in roaming profiles. Why I'm asking such weird question? Because with roaming profiles Windows clients has readonly profiles! With Policy Editor I made HKEY_Local_Machine writeable, but (of course) I cannot change user's HKEY_current_user, when I'm logged in as local administrator! Or maybe there's another way (some Samba/Linux tools) to give users rights to edit their (roaming? local?) registry? I'm using RedHat 7.2 and Samba 2.2.2. here is [global] section from my smb.conf: [global] workgroup = ENIGMA server string = Samba PDC v %v netbios name = BOL1 socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 os level = 64 preferred master = yes local master = yes domain master = yes security = user encrypt passwords = yes domain logons = yes log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log max log size = 50 hosts allow = (not shown) logon home = \\%L\%U\.profile logon drive = T: logon path = \\%L\profiles\%U add user script = /usr/sbin/useradd -d /dev/null -g machines -s /bin/false -M %u -- Best regards, mailto:maxim@kcci.kharkov.ua Maxim =<ICQ:12253836>=
Yes it is simple - set: logon path = "" This disables roaming profiles. -- Peter Polkinghorne, IT Manager Kingsford Stacey Blackwell ppolkinghorne@kingsfords.co.uk 14 Old Square, Lincoln's Inn (44) 020 7447 1200 London WC2A 3UB A list of names of the partners is open to inspection at the above address.

Of course you have to mount the homes in a different way, I have logon script = %U.bat and net use g: \\sugar\frank in frank.bat, and I generate the other *.bat's by a script: #! /bin/sh set -x for i in $*; do sed -e s/frank/$i/ /var/export/smblogon/frank.bat>/var/export/smblogon/$i.bat; done Bye, Frank -- Frank F?rst, physikalische Biochemie, Universit?t Potsdam, Germany Tel.: +49-331-977-5244 Fax: +49-331-977-5062
